Team Jorvik Spring Festival

The first of Team Jorvik's two Open Meets of the year was a big success, thanks to the hard work of the organising committee, all the parent helpers and the volunteer officials from visiting clubs. Our swimmers had a good day in the pool too, winning a total of 27 gold medals (11 A grade, 10 B grade and 6 C grade). Notable overall performances came from 13 year old Amy Bettles achieving good PBs in all of her 6 swims, sister Laura very nearly matching this feat, and 11 year old Joe Neary-Lamond updating some old times with huge PBs in his 3 swims. In the 200m IM event, 10 year olds Charlotte Bell and Heidi Fothergill both made big gains, with other great improvements coming in the 200m Free for Eve Clark, Fay Clark, Imogen Wood and Laura Bettles.
